Lyle described the bonds as being ?..a beautiful vehicle for the community to bring in industry.?
He said his company?s role in the situation is to resell the bonds to investors, adding that before anything could be undertaken federal law requires a memo of agreement must be spread upon the minutes of the concerned political identity.
In a second matter, Youth Court Referee Michael D. Haas, appeared before council seeking the imposition of a Youth Services Tax of $3 on criminal cases where the defendant is found guilty in city court.
Haas stated the municipalities account for the major portion of the Youth Court?s case load, and that although their efforts were quelling the repeat offender, out of the 133 juvenile cases presented to the court in June of this year, 47 originated in Bay St.Louis.
The referee indicated that the tax, now being collected by all county courts, was not providing sufficient revenue for youth court operations.
A question on the possibility of double taxation occurring under certain circumstances, was advanced by Councilman Fred Wagner, a likelihood that caused council to table the matter until their next session, Nov. 22.
An unusual zoning issue was solved by council calling on the city clerk to advertise a change to permit construction of mini-warehouses in C-l, C-2, and C-3 zoned areas of the city.

type warehouse restricted to heavy industrial zones.
Councilman Peter Benvenutti suggested that in future the building ? inspector check the ordinance before issuing a permit causing its recipient to move with an investment of capital. ,
Charles H. Hill of Burk and Associates, city engineers, told council ? that a new requirement of the federal highway department banning center ^ supports on overpasses will probably cause some difficulty with the proposed Dunbar and US-90 overpass.
The engineer said the ruling was made as the result of nine people being killed in a collision with a like structure in Pennsylvania.
He indicated that Mayor Larry Bennett and he are to attend a con- , ference with the federal authorities in an attempt to iron out differences.
A second engineering item concerned the possible assessment of highway fronting business property to cover installation of sewerage collection lines.
The issue arose following Hill?s telling council that existing collection lines were inadequate and the construction of three new fast food businesses adjacent to the Hancock : Bank on US-90 would overload existing facilities.
*	A delegation of citizens on hand to ? protest proposed apartment complex < construction on Kellar Street, south of Third, were invited to put themselves on the next meeting?s agenda, after the actions of the city zoning board were declared null and void due to incorrect -procedures being inadvertently followed.
As the planning groups actions dealt ' with zoning changes required for the \ development, their minutes will be resubmitted to council by that time. '
